lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is fortunate that a Polish Member is in the chair, as I wish to inform the House that the European Union tolerates certain practices in the Republic of Poland that blatantly contradict EU economic policy. I refer to the fact that Poland imposes an excise duty of 3.1% on all cars with engine sizes up to 2 litres that have been purchased in EU Member States, and of 13.6% on all such cars with engine sizes over 2 litres. The Polish parliament recently failed to pass a bill aimed at changing this law into one concerned with environmental protection, and this means that such dubious practices will continue. The victims are potential Polish car buyers, and these practices brazenly flout all the rules that apply in the European Union, one of which is equality, or so we are told. I would therefore ask for pressure to be brought to bear on Poland to ensure that it abandons such dubious practices, as they are detrimental to both Polish taxpayers and the European Union."@en1
